­­For the second time in three seasons, Baylor’s season ended with a trip to the Elite Eight and a loss to the eventual national champion. Ranked every week during the 2011-12 season, Baylor established program records for overall wins (30), conference wins (12) and tied its mark for NCAA wins in a single postseason (three).
